I am 17 years old and i had my baby boy 10/13/22 he was 5lbs 13oz and 19 inches i was 37 weeks and 4 day when he was born i had to get induced because i had to much amniotic fluid i didn’t have a good experience on the way to the hospital because the paramedics weren’t listening to me because i’m a teenager and my contractions were so bad so it was hard for me to talk to them and when i did i was yelling because of the pain but when i got to the hospital i was treated way better. once i started the inducing process my contractions got worse and super close together they were 1 min apart and lasted for 2-3 mins it was horrible but i have trauma so they weren’t going to check my cervics till i got the epidural so i wasn’t more uncomfortable. after 10 hours of constant pain i finally said i was ready for the epidural which was very weird feeling but it helped so much. at around 6 or 7 in the morning if the 13th they came in and said they were gonna break my water, the nurse that was gonna break my water was trying to rush and wasn’t paying attention and ripped out my catheter obviously i didn’t feel it but my actual nurse and midwife freaked out because she could’ve hurt me but when she popped my water it got all over her so she got her karma lol. at 1:00pm they came in and checked my cervics i was fully dilated and ready to deliver but i was so tired i asked if i could sleep for a little longer and they said they would come back in an hour to check but i think like 30 mins later i started to feel the need to push so they came in and got me ready to start pushing everything went great i pushed for like 30 mins. he did end up getting jaundice but we used a light therapy blanket and he got better. even though i have no idea what i’m doing and i’m super stressed i’m so happy being a mom i love him so much. he’s a healthy little man and is gaining good weight he was 6lbs 13.7oz at his 1 month appointment
